Can I trust Abit uGuru?

[jorwex]

I've been in ignorant bliss believing Abit's uGuru reporting my q9450's temps at an idle of 26 degrees C.

My friend told me recently about something that intel has neglected to release that properly allows temps to be reported. He couldn't explain it more than that, and as a result, I've had a bit of difficulty searching for exactly what he was talking about.

I've got the cpu running in my Abit IP35pro xe. Should Abit's utility be able to properly report the temps?

Thanks,

Jordan

It should be able to report it right but try using coretemp. 26c does seam to be a bit low unless its idle on a good water loop with room temps around 60F.
